Now i want to start by saying one thing: Like everyone else I hate coming on here and reading all the Ginn posts that constantly get put up, but with that said i feel like one thing must be cleared up. Many people on this forum like to state how Ginn is a bust, is too small, to short, is a pansy because he never takes the hit. That he will never be a good WR simply because of everything that was stated above.
Marvin Harrison: 6ft, 185 pounds, very fast, hands like glue
Ted Ginn: 5ft 11, 181 pounds, very fast (maybe faster), hands like glue
So the consider all the criticize towards Ginn. Is he too short? I would say the answer to that question is NO. Is he too small, obviously not. Does he not take hits YES i agree to this comment. But that raises a bigger question? Does he half to? Marvin has made a career running simply slants, fades and sideline routes that do not require him to have to overpower the defense. Y can he do this? The answer to this question is because of his speed and because of his great heads, two assets that cause extreme problems with CB. So this raises the next important question, y hasnt Ginn shown himself?
Well to answer this, lets consider the differences between Harrision and Ginn. Obviously Harrison has proven himself and Ginn has not, but it must be noted that Ginn is in his second year and Harrison is 13th year. Secondly it must be noted that Marvin did not break 1000 yard receiving until his 4th season. Finally the other noted difference is that Marvin has this guy named Payton Manning throwing to him. Ok, now we have gotten to the important part. What has helped make Marvin so successful, due to his physically small statue? Well the answer to that question is Payton Manning. Defenses know that on every play Payton has the potential to throw the ball 80 yards (because he has the arm that can do so). Unfortunately Ginn has never had that ability and CBs are able to play him tight on every play not giving him enough space. Thus Marvin has always had the space to use his speed to his advantage and make blow by defenders.
Now here is my belief to a very important question: What would happen if Ginn was on a team with a QB with a cannon arm? I believe that Ginn would be a pro-bowl WR and this is something I am will to take the heat for either now or 10 years from now.
So in conclusion, before we go about bashing Ginn every week lets try to consider some of the stuff i have said, and lets consider that we do not really have a QB starting for us that can utilize Ginns attributes.
